GreenRoom’s crack team of laugh-luring performers strings together hilarious, family-friendly sketches in its 90-minute Unscripted Improv shows. Inspired by Whose Line Is It Anyway?, the group eschews rehearsed bits and memorized jokes from popsicle sticks in favor of freshly hatched sketches based on audience suggestions. Uproarious pieces include games in which teams compete for chuckles and long-form sketches based on audience members’ volunteered life stories. A live band accompanies improvised songs with ear-tickling tunes crafted on the fly by its melodiously gifted musicians. Bubbly soda gives show-goers something to sip on during performances and proffers Mentos-carrying patrons a leg up in postshow science-offs.

Though GreenRoom Productions offers a discounted price for students and seniors, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
